Marine robotics firm to renew its search more than decade after plane disappeared with 239 people onboard
The search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is expected to resume on 30 December, more than a decade after the plane disappeared with 239 people onboard in one of aviation’s greatest mysteries.
A renewed search by Ocean Infinity, a UK and US-based marine robotics company, had begun earlier this year but was called off in April because of bad weather.
The Malaysian transport ministry announced this month that the search of the seabed would be conducted intermittently over 55 days from 30 December.
Ocean Infinity has agreed a “no find, no fee” contract with Malaysia, under which the company will search a new 5,800-sq-mile (15,000-sq-km) site in the ocean and be paid $70m (£52m) only if wreckage is discovered. The company has declined to comment on the latest search.
